So you could run a 1506 with a 1/8 shaft in a stadium truck for example, that would be too much, but fun to try.

thanks for the explanation Patrick, Two last question, Will these motors replace the current standard castle 1/10 motors currently in use? and, Are you planning a 4 pole replacement for the mini classes?

thanks and sorry for all the questions, I prefer the smaller 1/10 classes over MT and truggy.

EDIT: Holy crap, I just found out lehner xl and 1920 W/3.17mmshaft motors are allowed by patricks words. I wonder if smaller diameter motors would be allowed if not longer than max length?


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

No, you couldn't run those motors, because they have a diameter over 36mm...

A mabuchi 540 size motor is 36mm diameter and 55mm length... and that's defined as the MAXIMUM allowable dimension for ROAR modified.

Lehner XL is longer than 53mm too...

Those are motor sizes, not rotor sizes.

I agree on the neus, but the lehner motors are legal. Are you counting the wires and shaft? If so maybe you are right, but the can itself is 44mm long for the XL
http://www.lehner-motoren.com/basicxl/

The XXL is longer by 5 mm's

and 44mm long on the 1920
http://www.lehner-motoren.com/1920/

According to the ROAR rule book

Quote:
8.8.4 “05” Size Dimensions:
8.8.4.1 Can:
Overall maximum diameter is 36.02mm measured at whatever point yields the
maximum dimension, excluding solder tabs, screw heads or lead wires. Maximum
length is 53.00mm measured from the mounting face of the motor to the furthest most
point of the end bell, not including solder tabs, lead wires or original manufacturer’s
logo or name. Motor mounting holes must be on 1.00- inch (25.40mm) centers.
the only thing keeping the lehners i mentioned from being legal is the machined logo on the endbell. Will your have a logo on the endbell?

Yes, you are right.

Our logo will be laser etched on the endbell, just like our 1515 motors.
